The global apparel industry has been a gateway to industrialization, but changes in the global economy have eroded the benefits from participating in apparel global supply chains, leading to thin industrialization in low-income countries where suppliers firms are squeezed between low prices and high requirements. More recently, buyers added improved environmental performance as a new requirement for their suppliers, seeking to avoid brand risks in their supply chains due to consumer awareness. This environmental upgrading focused on eco-efficiency gains, which increased productivity among suppliers while using fewer resources, but buyers captured most of the benefits in terms of maintaining low prices due to market power imbalances. This article aims to shift the debate on the limits of participating in global supply chains by conceptualizing the opportunities available to late industrializing countries from embedding the environmental upgrading of individual supplier firms within a broader green industrialization process, which offers more opportunities for value capture and inter-industry linkages through circular industrial economies. We use this conceptual approach to examine the newest apparel sourcing location, Ethiopia, and the government's green industrial policy that aimed to spur industrialization through apparel specific eco-industrial parks.

通过绿色工业化战略参与服装全球供应链:对低收入国家的影响

全球服装行业一直是工业化的门户,但全球经济的变化削弱了参与服装全球供应链的好处,导致低收入国家的工业化薄弱,供应商公司在低价和高要求之间受到挤压。最近,买家将改善环境绩效作为对其供应商的一项新要求,以寻求避免因消费者意识而导致供应链中的品牌风险。这种环境升级侧重于生态效率的提高,这提高了供应商的生产力,同时使用更少的资源,但由于市场力量的不平衡,买家在维持低价方面获得了大部分好处。本文旨在通过将个别供应商公司的环境升级嵌入更广泛的绿色工业化进程中,概念化后工业化国家可获得的机会,从而转变关于参与全球供应链的限制的辩论,这为价值获取和互惠互利提供了更多机会。 - 通过循环工业经济建立产业联系。我们使用这种概念方法来研究最新的服装采购地埃塞俄比亚,以及政府旨在通过服装特定生态工业园区促进工业化的绿色产业政策。这为通过循环工业经济获取价值和跨行业联系提供了更多机会。我们使用这种概念方法来研究最新的服装采购地埃塞俄比亚,以及政府旨在通过服装特定生态工业园区促进工业化的绿色产业政策。这为通过循环工业经济获取价值和跨行业联系提供了更多机会。我们使用这种概念方法来研究最新的服装采购地埃塞俄比亚,以及政府旨在通过服装特定生态工业园区促进工业化的绿色产业政策。
